Invitation to Tender – Consultancy to assess the opportunities and potential related to government tendering
HelpAge International helps older people
claim their rights, challenge discrimination and overcome poverty, so that they
can lead dignified, secure, active
and healthy lives. Our work in over 75 countries is strengthened through our
global network of like-minded organisations - the only one of its kind in the
world. HelpAge International and Sightsavers are
looking for a consultant to assess the potential for government (bilateral and
multilateral) tendering to be a complementary income source for meeting
strategic objectives. Findings and
recommendations will inform future investment decisions.
HelpAge has responded to a
limited number of calls for proposals such as work in Kenya as part of a DFID
funded programme (HSNP) and in Myanmar in response to a World Bank call.
Sightsavers on the other hand has recently had a success with its first
tendering contract. This consultancy assignment will focus primarily on the
tendering practices and opportunities via a range of potential sources for
example DFID, EC, World Bank, USAID and others.
These will be agreed with the consultant prior to commencement of the assignment.
The
ideal candidate should have direct knowledge and practical experience of
government tendering and tendering for international development programmes. The consultant should also have expertise in
strategic/NGO organisational development and of organisational cost and
charging structures, particularly related to commercial activities.
